—A new stochastic search strategy inspired by the clonal selection theory in an artificial immune system is proposed for dimensionality reduction of hyperspectral remote-sensing imagery. The clonal selection theory is employed to describe the basic features of an immune response to an antigenic stimulus in order to meet the requirement of diversity in the… (More)

Recent advances in Sensor Web geospatial data capture, such as high-resolution in satellite imagery and Web-ready data processing and modeling technologies, have led to the generation of large numbers of datasets from real-time or near real-time observations and measurements. Finding which sensor or data complies with criteria such as specific times,… (More)

A novel approach by integrating multi-view aerial imagery and lidar data is proposed to reconstruct 3D building models with accurate geometric position and fine details. First, a new algorithm is introduced for determination of principal orientations of a building, thus benefiting to improve the correctness and robustness of boundary segment extraction in… (More)

Building boundary data are necessary for the real estate industry, 3D city models and many other applications. In this study, a novel approach integrated high resolution imagery and Lidar data is proposed for automatically obtaining building boundaries with precise geometric position and details. The high resolution images were used to directly extract the… (More)

HTML5 is being developed as the next major revision of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), the core markup language of the World Wide Web. It aims at reducing the need for proprietary, plug-in-based rich Internet application (RIA) technologies such as Adobe Flash. The canvas element is part of HTML5 and is used to draw graphics using scripting (e.g.,… (More)
